Husband and wife journalists Bill Keller of the New York Times and Emma Keller of the Guardian published recent opinion pieces that took issue with one Lisa Bonchek Adams, a sufferer of stage 4 breast cancer who has been tweeting and blogging about her experience with the illness.

Adams’s “offending” tweets include posts like:
